Anton Ferdinand is a
defender who signed for Sunderland in the 2008 close season. Anton is a
stylish, composed defender who is comfortable bringing the ball out of defence
to set up attacking plays.

He learnt his footballing trade at West Ham, where
he made more than 150 first-team appearances and gained representative honours
for England U21s. Anton is a versatile defender and can play across the back

went on to produce some useful performances in the team.

Anton moved on in the
summer of 2011, signing for Premier League newcomers Queen’s Park Rangers.
